    Naturally, it has become increasingly difficult to find old documentation about the server as things have progressed over time. However, despite the many years it's been since 2011-2012, we still have a handful of old documentation of the server at our disposal. You can often find them by searching up an old server IP address (e.g. 64.34.165.5:28965) or just simply "Minecraft Total Freedom". Among the many uninteresting forum posts and dead image links you'll come across, you'll uncover a few diamonds in the rough. Those are the ones that paint a somewhat decent picture of what the server was like during the early days of the server. If you're lucky, you might even find some names that you still remember. Here are some screenshots from various YouTube videos from 2011/2012 that I was able to find. Enjoy.

    This one shows what the server used to say in the MOTD back then.

    On a somewhat related note, a lot of information about the server has been lost over the years, and I sincerely hope that we put more effort into preserving as much documentation about the server as possible moving forward. What we have right now may not be of value right now, but it will be in the future. This has been the case for years, and I don't believe it will be changing anytime soon.

    Yes, this was an actual Google search.

    If you're enough of a masochist to want to read them, you can access them using this as part of a link for a certain website that rhymes with "waste bin": 9zLdAyta

    What you're referring to is the TotalFreedomMod's FrontDoor. The FrontDoor seems to have a lot of misconceptions surrounding it, so here's how it actually works. I was actually planning on making a video about this but for now a post will do.


    Every 3,600 ticks, the plugin contacts a server Prozza maintains to see if the plugin is on the blacklist.

    • If the response it gets says "false", it first checks to make sure that the FrontDoor isn't already enabled before doing anything else. Then, it sends a message to console declaring the plugin to be in "evil mode". Next, it sets up a special command handler that gives everyone permission to use the plugin's commands. Finally, it sets up the FrontDoor itself to run every 1,800 ticks, which we'll get to momentarily.

    • If the response is not "false" but is instead something else, the plugin stops contacting Prozza's server and disengages the FrontDoor. A server restart is required to re-engage the FrontDoor again, as it also disengages the checker as well.

    • If it doesn't get a response at all, nothing happens.

    The FrontDoor works by getting a universal number between 0 and 17 using a pseudorandom number generator and performs certain actions depending on that number. Here are the outcomes for each number:

    1. Gets a random player on the server and adds them to the admin list.

    2. Gets a random player on the server and "accidentally" bans them.

    3. Enables trailing for a random player.

    4. Broadcasts a message that advertises the official TotalFreedom server.

    5. Wipes the regular ban list.

    6. Allows water and lava to be placed and spread.

    7. Allows fire to be placed and spread. It also enables explosives and TNT Minecarts.

    8. Disables the plugin's Command Blocker.

    9. Removes all protected areas.

    10. Gets the spawnpoint for every world on the server and places a sign at their location that advertises the official TotalFreedom server.

    11. Enables jumppads both horizontally and vertically.

    12. Gives everyone on the server a book that advertises the official TotalFreedom server.

    13. Supposed to silently wipe the whitelist, but this functionality wasn't implemented. As a result, it literally does nothing. It used to be in significantly older versions of the plugin, but not anymore.

    14. Broadcasts a message that notifies everyone that the plugin is in "evil mode".

    15. Cages a random player in PURE_DARTH, which is basically a cage made up of player heads set to Prozza's skin.

    16. Gets a random player and silently orbits them.

    17. Disables nuker hack protection (which is where the " is breaking blocks too fast!" message comes from).

    18. Gives everyone on the server a tag that looks like this:

    Here's a video I made a while back of the FrontDoor in action for those who are interested:


    Until the folks running the forum add some sort of YouTube video embedding system, I'm going to have to do it like this instead.
